| | Visualization (graphic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As a subject in computer science, information visualization is the use of interactive, sensory representations, typically visual, of abstract data to reinforce cognition. | | | The invention of computer graphics may be the most important development for the visualization field since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance. | | | Knowledge visualization - "the use of visual representations to transfer knowledge between at least two persons" (Burkhard and Meier, 2004), aims to improve the transfer of knowledge by using computer and non-computerbased visualization methods complementary. |

| | NAS Visualization |
| | Visualization is a method of computing that enables researchers to observe their simulations and computational data. | | | The NAS Division's visualization staff researches and applies advances in information systems technology to enhance the understanding of computational simulation and experimental data. | | | As technology advances increase the ability to gather and create scientific data, it becomes increasingly important to develop the means to analyze, manage, and communicate the ideas explicitly and implicitly contained by the data. |

| | visualization |
| | Scientific visualization uses computer imaging to understand data which is obtained through either physical measurement or simulation. | | | Visualization has previously been defined as the ‘formation of visual images; the act or process of interpreting in visual terms or of putting into visual form.’ More recently a new definition has been added: ‘A tool or method for interpreting image data fed into a computer and for generating images from complex multi-dimensional data sets.’” | | | “Visualization is an old term which has received a large amount of interest in the computer science community. |
